The Queen visits University of Leicester

I thought I would use the Queen’s visit to Leicester as an excuse to finally have a shot at using Qik on my N95. T’was good. I got to show the Internet what the rest of the crowd saw from where I was standing - absolutely eff-aw! (Well, if you scroll to the last 10 seconds, you’ll get a glimsp of the Queen’s big taxi pulling into the University…)

And then I got to capture a bunch of student going mental and running around the campus as they, in turn, trying to their own pictures on their own camera phones. (Just image if they were all streaming at the same time?) - Even then, as Alan pointed out - Twitter, as always, was that bit more on the ball than BBC Leicester, which still (at time of writing) seems to have nothing of that much importance related to the event on their website - The University of Leicester is little more than an afterthought. Example #32,751 why I prefer “new” media to all that expensive traditional stuff.

Afterthought: I like Qik. T’is good fun. Mega battery drain, but I think I’ve found a use for my N95 when I upgrade. I wonder where else I can use it?
